I'm CRAVING IT. Metroid Prime Trilogy/Metroid Other M. NO DOUBT some of the best games I've ever played. Nintendo Triforce is Zelda, Mario, and lets not forget METROID!!! Please please show me new Metroid next week. But I don't know if they will or not. There is just so MANY HUGE games next week Nintendo is going to show. They might decide to delay. Lets not forget how last E3 they decided not to show 3DS XL when that was huge! I know 3D Mario, and all that going to be incredible. But for me. Its a new METROID thats gonna get Nintendo back on Top. Will they show it next week or not???

Hell YEAH! i hope they do... Cheers to the baddest female in gaming!

I hope Retro has two games to show and one of them is Metroid: Fall of the Space Pirates.

Hell yes! i don't think metroid will put nintendo on top. It just doesn't have the fan base that other games from nintendo do. I don't even understand how it's part of the "big three" as people say. That said, It's tied with zelda as my favorite nintendo franchises, and is in a constant battle with zelda and silent hill for being my favorite all around videogame franchises (metal gear is looking to take that spot as well). If they announced a new metroid for 2014, i'd be pretty damned psyched! 2013 and i may need to change my pants while watching the direct. Just realy hope they keep the story telling going. It was the only thing missing from metroid for me until otherM. That game just needed a better vocal coach/voice director.Also hope they keep it 3rd person. Also hope they keep it 3rd person. Despite the controls, i actually ended up preferring the 3rd person view to the 1st person from prime. I would understand going back to 1st though. Scanning things with the wii-pad would be more organic in 1st person. Also, i could use a sequel to otherM story wise. I feel certain that particular plot holes were left in that game for a sequel, so i'd rather a conclusion sooner than later. Fingers crossed!

Never played any of the Primes and Other M sadly.

Have played the original, Super Metroid and Fusion.

I don't really care for the original, but Super Metroid and Fusion are brilliant games. Played the original on NES (shortly and long after NES's prime) and Super Metroid all the way back during the SNES age but never again since. Never completed both (or played them seriously) until Super Metroid's WiiU's virtual console release last month. Completed it the day before yesterday. Same with Fusion, missed it on GBA but played and completed it on 3DS. Like I said, brilliant. Even though I never even seen the 3D entries in real life, you can bet I'm excited if they would announce a new Metroid just because of the 2D titles.

Super Metroid, Fusion, and Zero Mission are the only good Metroid games in my opinion. They need to make another one in that style.

The first Metroid is alright, but no auto map kills it for me.  I've beaten Metroid 2 but it's pretty boring and the one in the series that really needs a complete makeover.  I think the Zero Mission remake was amazing for the first one and hope they could do the same for the second. 

Can't say I agree with you on Other M, but every single one of the Primes is fantastic. The latter three 2D games are all great, too, and the first two Metroids are both good games that have suffered from aging/silly find all the Metroids policies.

What I love about the Metroid series is that there is no consensus whatsoever regarding which installment is the best...
Metroid fans seem to have more diverse tastes than Mario or Zelda fans...

and y can't Metroid crawl?

Really? It seems to be mainly Prime 1 vs Super Metroid for the #1 spot, quite similar to OoT vs ALttP and SM64 vs SMG...
